Do you just compare the two jar/war or whatever, skipping some files containing version information?
Yes, it's basically this kind of comparison. For jar comparison for instance I usually use the jardiff tool used to compute jar difference for JNLP. It gives a set of modified/added/removed resources/classes, then I check that the only difference is version information. Xavier --
